Nice concept, works fine! But the game doesn't pause after using a coin, I lost after using one.

Submitted

Very cool game, i've had similar ideas but end up changing a lot of it because time. Amazing work, good job!

Submitted

Solid submission, good work!

Submitted

Wow, amazing art style! Really nice take on the theme. Amazing job—keep up the good work!!

Submitted

This is awesome! :D Great artstyle, fits the theme, and is pretty fun. I ran out of crystals so i in the last wave i waited until all enemies are at the tower while healing it like crazy and destroyed them all in one shot. Felt great :D

Submitted

Cool idea and I loved the art style!

I think it would've made more sense if scaled down enemies had lower health. Right now if I run out of energy while I scale an enemy down, it just ends up being smaller and not weaker and I have basically wasted my resources.

And maybe add a little bit of background music in? I don't know, but with only the chirping in the background the game world feels a little bit... empty.

Also, I didn't get the "Increase view tower distance" power up for a while, and when I finally got it, I had already mowed down everything in view. xD

Developer

Thanks!

I'll try my best to implement anything I can improve after the end of this jam session.

Submitted

Tower that don't shoot something but scale other things... I love this idea

Developer

Glad you like it!

Really cute game, graphics are gorgeous. I think the info dump at the start could be spread throughout the first level, it was a bit overwhelming. Would love it if you tried our game.

Developer

Thanks!

I'll try to arrange a better tutorial session next time.

When executing the file on Windows it asks to "modify my system"? It's not the normal blue defender warning and I haven't seen that warning for any of the other games I played. I know you probably can't change that but just wanted you to give a heads up that this might scare people off.

Yeah, that is not normal. This usually sign of application trying invoke administrative permissions on system... I guess I will skip it for now... Maybe Dev can provide web build isntead

Developer

I have yet to figure out what actually caused the pop up so sorry about that :(

Though I can guarantee that the installed game will not do any harms to your device under any conditions so just rest assured.

Submitted

I think it's trying to install some kind of GameMaker component to my system, and that is why it's invoking the admin rights.

It literally says "Setup will install Created with GameMaker in the following folder." Seems bugged to me considering the application name is just "Created with GameMaker".

Developer(+1)

So maybe I should export the game as a ZIP file instead of an Installer cuz I noticed a lot of games I played here are ZIP files.

Welp I'll take note of that the next time I upload my game then :p

Submitted

The game seems promising but i could'nt get the controls to work? my mouse buttons dont do anything

Developer

May I know where exactly did you struggle to interact with mouse buttons?

Tks in advance!
